Good Morning, Estes Park!








Check out Gabe, our Dining Room Manager on the left, posing for a picture on our hike to Emerald Lake a few days ago. So much snow!
I snapped this picture of the hummingbirds the other day as I was taking photos for our Baldpate Keynotes Newsletter. I wanted the best pictures possible, so instead of photographing the birds through the windows on our sun porch, I opened the windows. That was a big mistake! One of the hummingbirds flew into our sun porch and couldn't find his way back to the open window! Luckily, our Dining Room Manager, Gabe, came to the rescue. He ever so gently guided the hummingbird back to the window with a napkin and then scooped the hummingbird into the napkin and released it out of the open window! It was an amazing sight! I am just thankful that this happened *before* our restaurant opened for the day!

If you'd like to receive our electronic Baldpate Keynotes Newsletter, please follow the link at the bottom of our homepage at http://www.baldpateinn.com/ ... then you can see my photo of the hummingbirds that made the cut for front page of the Newsletter!

Join us today for lunch or dinner and taste our yummy Lemon Ginger or Golden Sunshine muffins. They will go great with our Buffalo Cowboy Stew or Corn Chowder. Our famous cornbread will be coming out of the oven and onto your plate, so stop on by and enjoy a great meal and meet our very own Hummingbird Whisperer, Gabe! For reservations, please call (970) 586- 6151 or if you are out of town, dial us toll-free at (866) 577-5397.


Hope to see you here!
Your Baldpate Front Desk Manager (who will be keeping the windows closed!),
